The Sikh Riots of 1984 forever changed the political landscape of India, paving the way for communal polarization. The event left nearly 3,000 people dead in Delhi alone, with a total of 9,000 deaths across the country. The riots were orchestrated similarly to the Godhra violence in 2002, with mobs committing acts of violence while the state stayed silent. Political parties, especially the BJP, learned from these riots and used them to gain power in subsequent elections. The riots in 1984 and 2002 led to the rise of communal politics in India, with both the Congress and the BJP using divisive tactics to further their agendas.
